“If ever I to the moment shall say:
Beautiful moment, do not pass away!
Then you may forge your chains to bind me,

The clock may stop, the clock-hands fall,
And time come to an end for me!”

And time come to an end for me!”

“THE WITCH.
[dancing].
O I shall lose my wits, I fear,
Do I, again, see Squire Satan here!
MEPHISTOPHELES.
Woman, the name offends my ear!
THE WITCH.
Why so? What has it done to you?
MEPHISTOPHELES.
It has long since to fable-books been banished;
But men are none the better for it; true,
The wicked one, but not the wicked ones, has vanished.”

Of freedom and of life he only is deserving
Who every day must conquer them anew.
Thus here, by danger girt, the active day
Of childhood, manhood, age will pass away.”

And when the good of this world is achieved,
What’s better seems an idle dream.
That gave us our life, the noblest urges
Are petrified in the earth’s vulgar surges”

“And do I ask, wherefore my heart
Falters, oppressed with unknown needs?
Why some inexplicable smart
All movement of my life impedes?
Alas! in living Nature’s stead,
Where God His human creature set,
In smoke and mould the fleshless dead
And bones of beasts surround me yet!”

y libre quedarás de mi servicio:
¡párese allí el reloj con sus agujas!
¡Puede acabar el tiempo para mí!”
